This summer we discovered a treat that my kids love and I don't mind saying yes to. A mommy friend brought a box of these juice treats to a pool party and I was surprised to see that they were Otter Pops! They had the original looking box and familiar flavors but without the old-school artificial dyes, sugar and general junk. Now I'm not saying they are healthy exactly, but they are made with water, apple juice and sugar (not HFCS). And your kids won't end up with blue, red or green mouths! Which may be a drawback for some, ha!

The only trick was trying to find the juice version. I went to a few major stores and grocery stores but no luck. I finally found them at Costco (which by the way my friend had initially informed me they were from....whoops). A big box of 80 pops for only $8, it's a steal! We are enjoying them at home and also with friends. If we're having a pool play date I bring a bunch to share. Lets just say they're a big hit! And I love that any leftovers just go back in the freezer, no muss no fuss.

So go find some and don't forget to take a pair of scissors if you bring them to play dates, so much easier than using teeth...!
